Probably about right but i reckon the majority of negative feedback is not just from sauce users.
Full disclosure for @Matt_Wheeler i use sauce but the new hud has no impact on my sauce view but i definitely think it needs to work to make the climb hud able to switch on/off and ideally set parameters of when it appears e/g elevation over distance settings
You might be the only one. i’ve not noticed that but now you point it out you will have me looking for it next time i ride
while i like the HUD i do want to turn that climb graph off ASAP, or at least have it only show up on segments
not a sauce user personally
Sorry. I just needed to howl into the wilderness to let go of my suffering.
On the Itza KOM this morning, the climb graph showed up, disappeared on the short downhill portion of the KOM segment, and then reappeared.
If it has to show, show for the whole segment.
that’s the same reason most of us come to the forums 
I’m also not a sauce user. But if the new HUD doesn’t get updated to give us the ability to move things away from the centre of the screen I may be one soon.
I was hoping that it’d be the other way, that the new HUD would make me never want to bother setting sauce up.
similar for me i use sauce but mainly for two things that i hoped zwift HUD could of improved.
The climb hud is nice but it needs configurable
Drafting is sort of handy for new riders but tbh just sit at the back of the group and you don’t need to worry about it.
If you set 1 and 3, or 2 and 4 to “nothing” in the “power” area, there is a row of blank space.
Should the area then shrink?
Anyone else have an Elite Sterzo Smart that is now a brick after this update? The wife and I each have one and they don’t work anymore.
It was a hell of a lot worse a couple of years back when Zwift changed the font (anyone remember when the 1 looked like a 7?). The numbers would bounce around far worse than they do now. Zwift made some changes which fixed it somewhat but they fell short of the fixed width font for numbers. I’m just grateful that Zwift made some sort of an effort to remedy the problem.
I thought the bar graph in the upper left was just a mini version of the power trace, but it’s just time spent in each zone. Totally not useful for me. I’m with you on that.
i like seening how my time i am in Zone 1 in Race, is lot. @Paul_Himes SO it good , Supreme Chancellor of Zwift King Bath Salts
I like the overall trend of the updated HUD. It’s good to see Zwift trying to improve things. But I would add a couple of things to the feedback:
The translucent backgrounds are a problem for visually impaired users. There will be many times when the HUD elements would fail a contrast ratio check. I like the look, but it shouldn’t come at a cost of accessibility.
Another vote for being able to disable the climb profile thing. I like the idea in principle for other users, but personally don’t really want it. The ability to toggle it would be a good middle ground.
A ‘lap button’ function for averages would be nice. It doesn’t need to store the data anywhere. It could just zero the current averages. Though, if storing them was possible, that would be great, too.
I fully agree about Groups info, that’s by far the most useful set of UI info I’ve ever seen when looking at race videos. Can see number of people in your group, distance to other groups in time and if that’s increasing/reducing, group speed, and more…and it’s all coming from data that Zwift is transmitting but not making use of!
A “Full” Route Profile in a suitable screen position would also be very good, the ones on Sauce setups look awesome with segment info and other rider positions etc…but I have to disagree and say that the current “Pop-down Partial Profile” is awful, it’s utterly non-configurable with regards to whether you want it, and if you do where on screen you want it and what you want to trigger it in terms of “any random rise in the road” or “% above X” or “Only on KOMs” etc. and its postion and use of screen real estate, well, I can’t understand how it got past even 1 inspection by someone at Zwift who uses their own platform
The point about visual differences is a good one, and just another reason why Zwift’s “customizable” HUD should be made to stand by the word “customizable” - there’s no reason at all why they couldn’t simply have within the HUD Settings an option to set “HUD Colour” as say a Hex Code (which are easy to look up) along with a “Translucence %” option where you can set from 0% (for hard colour) to say 60% to look like it does currently (or whatever % that would be), it’s simple programming that teenagers could do
The RP’s are changing routes every day now. Is this a permanent thing?
Finally got the update. I’d like to be able to see my BPM and RPM without squinting.
Hopefully, it’s good to change things up.
Where is the upgrade for Apple TV? It’s September 6!! Mac iOS has had it for days so don’t blame Apple. Roll out for all platforms if your going to roll it out.
